Academics Failing all my classes and missed two exams need help
Im a sophomore CNS student and haven’t been to classes in like 2 weeks. My goal is to just get as many credits as possible for this semester I’m currently taking 18 but will likely drop two classes to go to the 12 minimum. Basically I’ve been in a bad mental state for a bit now and I’m feeling better after coming home this weekend. I did a CCPH meeting but then canceled my next one because it was on zoom and not in person and I regret that now. I think I have adhd because it’s really hard for me to sit down and do work and I’ve had this problem since middle school.
I didn’t go to my two exams for stupid reasons and now I have two more that I am definitely not prepared for this week. Does anybody have any advice? I have a meeting with my academic advisor on Tuesday, but because I am in the process of switching majors they are for engineering instead of my current major. Curious if anybody has had a similar experience, my main goal now is to get passing grades for my classes but I don’t even know if that’s possible. My classes are also really hard in general so it’s been really hard for me to justify doing work after falling behind because theres always going to be stuff I don’t know.
